Swim Fitness Classes and Training Programs

If you or your child is looking for a great way to stay fit and healthy while doing something, swimming is for you. Whether you are continuing your swim training into competitive swimming, training for a triathlon or simply swimming to stay fit we have a swim fitness or training program for you.

Swim Fitness

Swimmers in this program are trained to perfect their strokes and build endurance. This is a great way to build a lifelong exercise program.

Swim Fitness: Swim Fitness programs are designed for swimmers who are not interested in competition, for those wanting Off Campus PE credit, or for summer league swimmers who do not want to commit to year round competitive training. We work on stroke mechanics, sportsmanship and the rules of competitive swimming.

Swim Fit 1 is offered on Fridays.

Swim Fit 2 is offered on either Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.

Swim Fit 5 is offered Monday through Friday for swimmers who can swim 50 yards continuously, both freestyle and backstroke. Our students swim drills of 50 and 100 yards, kicking and laps to build strength and endurance.

Our practices are geared to create a fun atmosphere for instruction, getting in shape, staying in shape or cross training for other sports. Coaches will run a Fitness Check periodically. Depending upon the swimmer’s abilities, different measurements may be taken for each kid. Following the Fitness Check, the results will be posted the following week on the bulletin board.

Intro to Lap Swimming: Let us help you to feel good about swimming laps in the pool. We will teach you how to do flip turns, read the clock, understand the workouts, along with stroke improvement. This class is the bridge between adult swim lessons to adult swim fitness classes.
